In the early 1900s, the United States saw a significant influx of immigrants, primarily from Southern and Eastern Europe. Many came from countries like Italy, Poland, Russia, and Greece, seeking economic opportunities and fleeing political unrest or persecution.

New immigrants in the early 1900s faced attacks and mistreatment largely due to nativism, a belief that prioritized the interests of native-born citizens over those of immigrants.

Additionally, cultural differences and xenophobic attitudes contributed to widespread discrimination, leading to violence and social exclusion against immigrant communities.
